T
he Papuan Police have handed over the dossier on Chief Brig. Labora Sitorus tothe Papua Prosecutors' office for processing. Labora has been accused of engaging in illegal logging, money laundering and
fuel smuggling.
'We handed over the dossier to the prosecutors today,' said Papua Police spokesman Sr. Comr. I Gede Sumerta Jaya on Friday.
Dwi Hartanta of the Papua Prosecutor's office said a team of prosecutors had been assigned to check the dossier. He said the team had been given a week to do the checking and if they spotted any weaknesses then they would likely return the dossier to the police for correction or for additional material.
Chief Brig. Labora Sitorus, not Adj. First Insp. Labora Sitorus as mentioned in previous stories, faces a maximum punishment of seven years imprisonment if found guilty.
The Labora Sitorus' case originated from his financial report first released by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK). PPATK had spotted accumulative financial transactions totaling more than Rp 1.5 trillion (US$146 million), not in keeping with Labora's role as a police officer.
PPATK handed over the report to the National Police headquarters, which directly formed a team to investigate the suspicious data. Labora was then arrested on May 20 on multiple charges.(dic)
